The right to health is at the center of the National Day of health workers, social health workers, social care workers, and volunteers on February 20. The Councilor for Social Policies and Health of Rome Capital, Barbara Funari, together with the guarantor for the Rights for the elderly Laila Perciballi, met with representatives of the orders of health professions in Rome. "We are all working together - Councilor Funari supported - to protect the right to health, care, active life for the elderly. I thank all health workers who, each with their own skills and professionalism, spend every day in public and private health places. We have opened a first working table to continue together, in a spirit of collaboration, with a rich program of initiatives to facilitate, for example, relationships between generations and to combat loneliness and isolation".
"Among the various projects started to protect health, we wanted to delve into - Guarantor Perciballi explained - the issue of safety and architectural barriers, because old age and disability have many common issues. We also promoted the march for (global) health to spread the culture of prevention: an annual event at the Village for the earth that will be held from April 18 to 21. And again, each professional is asked for an hour a month of their time, which turns into thousands of hours of volunteering, available to the community and the elderly to give more impetus to home care".
